Aston Martin unveils the all new DB11 AMR 2018

KUALA LUMPUR: Aston Martin has introduced the latest model of the DB11 family, DB11 AMR 2018, as the lead model of the range. The British luxury sports car manufacturing company has confirmed all necessary details about the car, including the price.

The AMR variant of DB11 acquires its power from a carryover 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbocharged engine, which produces 630bhp at 6500 rpm, which is 30bhp more compared to the DB11 V12 and yield the same 700 Nm of torque at 1500 rpm. This facilitates the car to speed from 0 -100 kmph in just 3.7 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than the regular DB11 Coupe. The car enjoys a top speed of 334 km/h while the torque reading remains the same.

The flagship model also comes with positive adjustments in both the eight-speed automatic transmission and suspension. The vehicle features a new shift calibration for its eight-speed automatic transmission. A new stainless steel exhaust has also been incorporated to ensure a louder performance when 'Sport' driving mode is selected.

 

The flagship DB11 comes with high-gloss black roof and 20-inch forged alloy wheels that make the car appear much longer and wider. The car predominantly enjoys a macho and dark theme with its distinctive front grille and exhaust tips, darkened headlight surrounds, side sills, alloy-built torque tube paired with launch control, front splitter, and smoked tail-lights.

The limited AMR Signature Editions does not come predominantly characterized by black hue and provides room for more character. One can spot stirling green lime stripes across both the exterior and interior of the car. Standard AMR features mostly gloss black detailing and exposed carbon fibre. The cabin houses contrast colour brake callipers, flat-bottomed steering wheel, electric-power aided steering, leather racing seats.

The car features a myriad of safety and convenience features like hydraulic brake assist, dynamic stability control, front and rear parking sensors, dynamic torque vectoring etc.

The Aston Martin DB11 AMR comes with a price starting from £174,995 in the UK (174995 Malaysian Ringgit). It is made available in Germany and USA also. However, when it will reach Malaysia and accompany the recently launched DB11 V8 is not known yet.
